Bronny James, the eldest son of NBA superstar LeBron James, and Shareef O'Neal experienced a taste of the limits of family fame when they were unceremoniously rejected from rapper Saweetie's exclusive Hollywood party. The incident occurred as the pair attempted to enter the popular nightclub, Poppy, for Saweetie's birthday celebration, according to TMZ.

While Bronny James has been able to establish his own following as one of the country's top high school basketball players and recently committed to play at USC, it seems their fame wasn't enough to secure entry into the star-studded event. It is worth noting that they arrived with a sizable group, which could have contributed to their rejection rather than a lack of recognition.

Following the incident, some Twitter users jokingly suggested that Bronny should prevent Saweetie from attending Lakers' games in retaliation. With fathers like Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James, one might assume that gaining access to exclusive venues would be effortless. However, speculation arose that LeBron may have purposely limited Bronny's involvement in nightlife to prioritize his basketball career. While it sounds like a scene from a movie, such a decision wouldn't be entirely surprising coming from LeBron.
